Mi Zhu sighed again: "You don't know the temper of the little sister, she is usually soft and weak, but she has a stubborn temperament, if you know that we are like this...... I don't know what kind of mess is going to happen. ”

The dream fell through, Mi Fang was completely dumbfounded, and said blankly: "That...... So what now? ”

Mi Zhu spread his hands and said helplessly: "What else can I do?" Wait, if there is that blessing......"

Regarding all these things, these days also plague Mi Zhu, he only has a general idea now, far from mature. I wanted to discuss it with my younger brother to improve it, but before he could organize the language in his stomach, he suddenly heard a crisp sound outside the door.

"Smack...... "A plate, a few bowls, shattered all over the ground in the wind.

"Who?" Hearing the sound outside, Mi Zhu shouted angrily.

The Mi family has no status in the officialdom, but it is a pivotal role in the shopping mall, and the most afraid of doing business is leaking the news, and the business intelligence is stolen by the opponent.

When their brothers were discussing confidential topics, except for a few henchmen, the other stewards were not qualified to participate at all, and ordinary people were strictly forbidden to come within twenty steps of the study.

Therefore, all the secret discussions of the Mi family, outsiders have no chance to eavesdrop at all, let alone the mistake of breaking the utensils when they are frightened.

There was no response from outside the study.

"Who's out there, get in here!" Mi Fang was much more impulsive than his brother, and he jumped to the door with one arrow step, pushing the door with one hand, and pressing the handle of the knife on his waist with the other. His martial arts are not very good, but he has often fought since he was a child, and his experience is also extremely rich, and it is no problem to deal with the siege of three or five ordinary people.

"The master, the second master. It's a maid ......" A weak voice sounded, and the Mi brothers recognized it as the maid Qian'er beside her sister.

"Qian'er, why are you here?" Mi Fang pushed open the door and asked, Mi Zhu also stood up.

"Back to the words of the second master, son, no...... It was the young lady who heard that the second old man was back, so she ...... So I went to the kitchen with my maid and brought some ginseng soup! The little girl was very timid, holding back the tears in her eyes, and replied in a trembling voice.

"Son-of-law...... The young lady and the maidservant have just arrived. Then the young lady took the ginseng soup from the maidservant's hand and prepared to enter the door herself. And then...... Then the servant saw the tray...... The tray fell from Miss's hand to the ground, and then ...... Then the young lady ran away crying! ”

Qian'er's voice was intermittent, but it was like a needle, stabbing the two big men without embarrassment. In an instant, the gloom on Mi Zhu's face disappeared, and only deep tiredness remained. I weighed the pros and cons and considered the family business, but I didn't expect what impact these words would have on my sister who was soft and strong.

He waved his hand. He whispered, "Go down, stay with Miss, tell her, and I'll go see her when I get back." ”

"Yes. Old man. Qian'er squatted down and left, leaving the two brothers looking at each other.

Mi Fang opened her mouth, and stopped talking: "Big brother." This ......"

Mi Zhu said dejectedly: "That's it, I'll go to see Tao Envoy Jun tomorrow, and the hussar general will lead the army south to Xuzhou." Help Tao make Jun pacify the ant thief, it is impossible for Xuzhou to ignore it, and make people criticize, I will go to greet it. ”

………………

At the end of July, Dong Zhuo and the ministers of the Three Princes, Jiuqing Zhuqing and other hundreds of officials sent seven old ministers to Bashang.

Once gone, no one knows if they can see each other again. Yuan Shao can raise a knife to slaughter ministers, why can't Li Yi?

Ma Riyan and other seven old ministers said goodbye to the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government one by one and headed east.

………………

At the end of July, the hussar general led a large army and marched to the area of Feiguo in the south of Mengshan Mountain in the south of Taishan County. At this time, he received news from Chang'an.

After reading the book of flying pigeons, Li Yi looked solemn and was silent for a long time.

Xu Shu said eagerly: "General, immediately stop them from going to the northern frontier and send the princess back to Chang'an, otherwise we will be in big trouble......"

Li Yi suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "No, pass the book to Gui Ying, who stayed in Quanzhou, and ask her to congratulate the eldest princess." ”

"General......" Guo Jia stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Yi, who was about to move, and said very dissatisfiedly, "General, do you want to give up checks and balances and give up northern Xinjiang?" Now giving up checks and balances, giving up northern Xinjiang, and going to Qinwang to fight Chang'an is simply a strategy to quench thirst by drinking water, and it will not save the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty. Look at Dong Zhuo, he has the Son of Heaven in his hands, the army, and the power of the world, but has he stabilized the society? No, it is precisely because of his incompetence that my Han Sheji fell into the abyss and became what it is today. Could it be that the general thinks that the strength of the northern Xinjiang is enough to save the world and stabilize the society? ”

Li Yi stopped, looked at a few strategists, and said calmly: "No, I don't have this ability, you don't have this ability, and Northern Xinjiang doesn't have this strength." That's why I need the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and I need the help of Cui Lie, Zhang Wen, and Ma Riyan, who are the ministers of the big Han Dynasty. Only by working together and working together can we fulfill the trust of the first emperor and defend and revitalize our Han community. ”

"You have been with me for a long time, who I am and what I think, you should know very well." Li Yi looked at the pile of documents on the desk and sighed softly, "How was the edict of the first emperor written?" How can I live up to the trust and trust placed in me by the previous emperor? If I can't fulfill the last order of the first emperor, what face will I have to see the first emperor under Jiuquan? Whether I am a man or a courtier, the first thing is loyalty, if I can't even do loyalty, am I still a human being? Are you still willing to help me? No, no one wants to be a rebel against my big man and bear the infamy of generations. ”

"Maybe the Son of Heaven can't understand my way to defend and save Sheji, or maybe the ministers in the court also regard me as the greatest disaster of the Han Dynasty. But I asked myself, I didn't do anything wrong. Li Yi motioned for everyone to follow and slowly walked outside the big tent, "I, like you, firmly believe that we have the ability to save and revitalize the community, but we need a long time and more strength. ”

"The Son of Heaven set up the Princess's Mansion in Jicheng, and sent seven old ministers to assist the princess, so people in the world will believe that I Li Yi is absolutely loyal to the Son of Heaven and the Han Dynasty. This is a good and harmless thing for Northern Xinjiang and for me personally. For example, now we are going to Jizhou to buy grain, although it is our hussar general's mansion that pays the money, but it is the eldest princess of the Han Dynasty who comes forward. Let's ask Han Fu, does he dare to push back? Let's ask the gate valves in Jizhou, do they still dare to refuse? At this time, whether it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, or Liu Dai, when facing the eldest princess, what choice will they make? Did she simply refuse to admit that even the eldest princess was born, saying that she was not from the first emperor? ”

No one dared to say that. Although Yuan Shao dared to kill the four court ministers, he did not dare to deny the eldest princess. The eldest princess is still young, and she doesn't have any prestige at present, but behind her is me Li Yi, and it is my hundreds of thousands of troops in northern Xinjiang, with us standing behind her, who dares to say the word 'no'? Behind the eldest princess, there are Cui Lie, Zhang Wen, Ma Riyan, Yuan Peng, Chen Ji, Yang Biao, and Ding Gong Seven old ministers, these seven people look at the world, except for the Son of Heaven, who can afford to provoke? With Yuan Shao's ability, he can't afford to mess with any of them. ”

"The seven old ministers in the eldest princess's mansion, Zhang Wen, Ding Gong, and Yuan Peng are all my former officials, regardless of the political differences between us, in terms of personal feelings, the seven old ministers will definitely be able to sit with us. In any case, our purpose is the same, all for the community, for the common people in the world, and for the national glory of our Han Dynasty for thousands of generations. ”

"I have these seven respected ministers in the northern Xinjiang, plus my grandfather Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and other great Confucians, and their strength has grown so fast, I'm afraid it's not what you and I can imagine, right?" Li Yi looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that Northern Xinjiang is poor, and no Confucian scholars are willing to be refuted?" If you look at it after a while, it's not that no one in my northern Xinjiang provinces wants to be destroyed, but it's overcrowded. ”

"As long as we, the eldest princess, and all the old ministers work together, within two or three years, we will not only be able to stabilize the northern Xinjiang, but also be able to eliminate traitors and revitalize the society."

The crowd was heavy and silent. The lord said that he had chosen it, but he did not say a word about the hidden worries about the future of northern Xinjiang.

The Son of Heaven aimed to set up the Eldest Princess's Mansion in Jicheng, and recruited seven old ministers to serve in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the purpose of which was obviously to check and balance and weaken the authority of his own lord.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that there is little point in using the power of the eldest princess to force her lord to provide supplies to Gyeonggi, because the situation in northern Xinjiang itself is not much better than that of Gyeonggi, and the materials that can be provided are very limited. In that case, why did Dong Zhuo do this? Why provoke the lord? Do you want to kill these old ministers by the hand of the lord, so that the lord and the northern frontier will become rebels, and Yuan Shao will come together completely? But what good does this do for Dong Zhuo?

Taking a step back, even if the lord respects the decree of the Son of Heaven and coexists with the eldest princess's mansion in northern Xinjiang, the military power of the northern Xinjiang and the two capitals of the six states is in the hands of the lord, and the army is also in the hands of the lord.

To put it bluntly, if the lord of his own family has the intention of separating the feudal town or usurping the community, then the eldest princess's mansion is a decoration and has no effect.

Of course, if the lord is loyal to the Son of Heaven and loyal to the Han, the power of the eldest princess's mansion will be vaguely above the hussar general's mansion.

But in this way, the struggle for power between the two governments began, and no one from the army to the government, from the officers to the officials, could avoid the whirlpool of this power struggle, and the consequences were difficult to predict.

The huge internal friction will inevitably reduce the strength of northern Xinjiang, but it will take some time, which will not help Dong Zhuo to solve the current crisis facing Gyeonggi. (To be continued.) )
